For some people, it is quite likely that they will have reduced income. It is important for them to stick to the modified budget. Our goal is to make sure that we are truly able to afford basic necessities despite the overall bad conditions in the market. We should also know that occasional emergency needs and regular bills will need to be covered, regardless of our reduced income. In order to ensure our financial condition is kept in a stable level, savings must be our first expense before others, even including for paying basic necessities.

If we do this, it means that inessential expenses will be significantly reduced. It’s clear that we may contribute to the overall reduced sales, but we still need to choose our purchases with caution. It’s a bad thing if we are still get carried away to buy unnecessary stuff during bad economic situation. For each tempting acquisition, we should know whether it could fit into our own lifestyle. As an example, we shouldn’t purchase a fabulous dress if we only wear it very rarely. In many cases, people could wear a nice dress once, before it needs to be replaced.
